Mac OS X 10.2.6, Powerbook 500 MHz G3 Pismo, RR 2.1 (RR 1.1.1 was last 
version to work properly).

Try this in your message box:
--
put "@@@@@@@@@@@@@" into cmprsThs
put compress(cmprsThs) into cmprsd
put decompress(cmprsd) into msg
--

If you do not get an error, then it must be the difference between 10.2 
and 10.2.6, or G4, or perhaps you are using the "URL" keyword with a 
file. I haven't used "URL", might you have a script with "URL" that I 
could test?
